Can we create Hive index without specifying "WITH DEFERRED REBUILD"? Right now, it reports following errors.
CREATE INDEX table01_index ON TABLE table01 (column2) AS 'COMPACT'; FAILED: Error in metadata: java.lang.RuntimeException: Please specify deferred rebuild using " WITH DEFERRED REBUILD ". FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask According to the design here <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/IndexDev> "WITH DEFERRED REBUILD" is optional. Is this a bug? In addition, I found drop index never check metadata and log here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9638> And issues of index in Hive 1.0.0 here <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-9639> Can someone verify this and provide workaround? Thanks, Will
